Background: and Purpose Vertebrobasilar fusiform aneurysms (VBFAs) carry substantial morbidity and mortality, but optimal management for unruptured VBFAs remains unclear. We compared the safety and efficacy of conservative management (CM), stent-assisted coiling (SAC), and flow diverters (FDs) in patients with unruptured VBFAs, focusing on long-term prognosis. Methods: This study included data from a nationwide Chinese cohort of patients with vertebrobasilar dissecting aneurysms. Inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW) balanced confounders across groups. The primary outcome was poor prognosis (modified Rankin Scale score >2). Secondary outcomes included aneurysm rupture, ischemic stroke, compression symptoms, and VBFA-related deaths. Logistic regression estimated odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Subgroup and sensitivity analyses were performed. Results: Among 1,115 patients with unruptured VBFAs, 838 (median age, 54 years; 655 men) were included. After IPTW, baseline characteristics were balanced. Median follow-up was 54 months. FD was associated with a lower risk of poor prognosis than CM (OR, 0.48 [95% CI, 0.30 to 0.77]; p=0.002), with no difference between CM and SAC. FD also reduced aneurysm rupture (OR, 0.20 [95% CI, 0.07 to 0.60]; p=0.004) and compression symptoms (OR, 0.30 [95% CI, 0.13 to 0.68]; p=0.004) versus CM. Time-to-event analyses further revealed significant differences in vertebral artery lesions and Type I–II VBFAs, whereas no significant differences were observed in basilar or vertebrobasilar junction lesions or in Type III–IV VBFAs. Conclusions Compared with CM, FD was associated with improved long-term outcomes in unruptured VBFAs, particularly in vertebral artery lesions and Type I–II VBFAs, although residual confounding cannot be excluded.

Objective To investigate the awareness of radon exposure hazards among non-uranium miners in Chongqing, China. Methods A survey was conducted among 177 male miners from eight non-uranium metal mines in Chongqing to collect data on basic information, personal habits, and the rate of radon awareness. Factors affecting radon awareness were analyzed using chi-square test and logistic regression model. Results The awareness rate of radon among miners was 23.73%. The chi-square test indicated significant difference in the radon awareness rate among miners with different levels of education (χ² = 10.28, P < 0.05), while there was no significant difference across different ages, years of work, labor relations, job categories, and types of miners (P > 0.05). Binary logistic regression analysis showed that a college (junior college) or higher level of education, a high school level of education, and working in mines were factors affecting the radon awareness among miners (χ² = 4.030, 9.150, 11.776, P < 0.05). Conclusion Miners lack awareness of radon, and there is an urgent need to strengthen education and propaganda regarding the hazards of radon.

Abstract In recent years, the prevalence of overweight and obesity among children and adolescents has risen rapidly, posing a serious threat to their physical and mental health. To provide scientific, systematic, and standardized weight management guidance for overweight and obese children and adolescents, the study focuses on the core concept of healthy lifestyle intervention, integrates multidisciplinary expert opinions and research findings,and proposes a comprehensive multidisciplinary intervention framework covering scientific exercise intervention, precise nutrition and diet, optimized sleep management, and standardized psychological support. It calls for the establishment of a multi agent collaborative management mechanism led by the government, implemented by families, fostered by schools, initiated by individuals, optimized by communities, reinforced by healthcare, and coordinated by multiple stakeholders. Emphasizing a child and adolescent centered approach, the consensus advocates for comprehensive, multi level, and personalized guidance strategies to promote the internalization and maintenance of a healthy lifestyle. It serves as a reference and provides recommendations for the effective prevention and control of overweight and obesity, and enhancing the health level of children and adolescents.

Objective:To investigate the radon exposure levels and health effects among non-uranium miners in Chongqing.Methods:From June 2022 to December 2023, a survey was carried out on basic information, radon exposure and occupational health status of 110 male miners with good cooperation attitudes in 6 non-uranium metal mines in normal operation in Chongqing. The logistic regression model was utilized to statistically analyze the impact of miners′ individual radon doses on abnormalities in chromosomal aberration analysis, micronucleus examination, tumor marker tests, and pulmonary CT imaging.Results:Monitoring results from passive integrated radon personal dosimeters indicated that three miners had an annual dose exceeding 2 mSv. Logistic regression analysis revealed that abnormalities in pulmonary CT imaging were associated with miners′ age, tenure, and alcohol consumption ( χ2=12.18, 9.63, 4.87, P<0.05), with no significant correlation with smoking or individual radon dose. There was a significant correlation between individual radon dose and abnormalities in tumor markers; for every additional 1 mSv of effective dose from radon and its progeny, the risk of abnormality increased by 2.25 times ( χ2=4.57, P < 0.05). Conclusions:Some miners in Chongqing are exposed to an annual dose exceeding 2 mSv, and there is a correlation between individual radon doses and abnormalities in lung cancer serum tumor markers. It is necessary to focus on monitoring the radon exposure risks for miners, carry out regular health checks, and enhance the health protection for the miner population.

Background Agitated behaviour in male patients with schizophrenia can lead to serious consequences for the individual and the society.Non-invasive drug delivery may help to rapidly control agitation and improve the overall patient satisfaction,but there are limited studies on the efficacy of olanzapine oral soluble film for the treatment of agitated behaviour in patients with schizophrenia.Objective To compare the efficacy and safety profile of olanzapine oral soluble film versus intramuscular haloperidol against agitated behaviour in male patients with schizophrenia,so as to provide a reference for the treatment of agitated behaviour.Methods From May 2022 to July 2023,a consecutive sample of schizophrenic patients(n=44)with agitated behaviour who met the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders,fifth edition(DSM-5)were recruited in the male psychiatric closed ward of the Third People's Hospital of Fuyang.Patients were assigned into two groups using the random number table method,each with 22 cases.Study group was treated with olanzapine oral soluble film 10 mg/d,while control group was given intramuscular haloperidol 8 mg/d.The severity of agitated behaviour was determined using Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale-Excited Component(PANSS-EC)and Agitation Calmness Evaluation Scale(ACES)at the baseline and after 6 h of drug administration.The treatment response rate was calculated based on the reduction of PANSS-EC score,and the drug side effects were assessed using Rating Scale for Extrapyramidal Side Effects(RSESE)and Barnes Akathisia Rating Scale(BARS)after 6 h of drug administration.Results After 6 h of drug administration,no statistical difference was reported in PANSS-EC score and ACES score between two groups(F=0.039,0.082,P>0.05),and the treatment response rate yielded no statistical difference between two groups(χ2=0.419,P=0.517),while study group reported a lower incidence rate of adverse reactions compared with control group,with statistically significant difference(P=0.031).BARS scores noted no statistical significant difference between two groups(t=0.587,P=0.561),whereas study group scored lower on RSES compared to control group,with a statistical difference(t=-7.367,P<0.01).Conclusion In the treatment of agitation in male patients with schizophrenia,the efficacy of olanzapine oral soluble film is comparable to that of intramuscular haloperidol,while the safety profile of the former is superior to that of the latter.

Objective To explore the value of dynamic MRI imaging in investigate the morphologic and dynamic factors of low anterior resection syndrome(LARS)after anal preservation surgery in patients with low rectal cancer.Methods Thirty-five patients who developed LARS after anal preservation surgery for low rectal cancer were prospectively collected.Subjects were underwent routine MRI and dynamic MRI of pelvis 1 week before and 3 months after surgery respectively.Routine MRI was used as the resting phase,and dynamic MRI was used to obtain the rapture phase and forceful phase.Parameters such as anal rectus angle(ARA),the length of the line connecting lower edge of pubic symphysis to the posterior wall attachment point of puborectal muscle(H-line),the vertical length from posterior wall attachment point of puborectal muscle to pubococcygeal line(M-line),thickness of puborectal muscle,and thickness of internal and external anal sphincter were measured at the three time phases.The differences between preoperative and postoperative,and moderate and severe LARS patients were compared by measuring relevant indicators.Results The preoperative and postoperative ARA,H-line length and M-line length of LARS patients were the smallest in the rapture phase,the largest in the forceful phase,and the middle in the resting phase.The postoperative thickness of puborectalis muscle and internal and external anal sphincter were the largest in the rapture phase,the smallest in the forceful phase,and the middle in the resting phase.There were significant differences between the three phases(P＜0.05).There were no significant differences between the three phases of postoperative puborectalis muscle thickness and internal and external sphincter thickness(P＞0.05).The postoperative ARA was greater than preoperative ARA in LARS patients,and the thickness of puborectalis muscle,the internal anal sphincter(resting phase and rapture phase),and the external anal sphincter were smaller than preoperative ARA,and the differences were statistically significant(P＜0.05).The ARA in resting phase and rapture phase was greater in patients with severe LARS than that of patients with mild LARS,and the thickness of internal anal sphincter in resting phase was less in patients with severe LARS than that of patients with mild LARS(P＜0.05).However,the differences between the other indicators were not statistically significant(P＞0.05).Conclusion Dynamic MRI examination technology combines dynamic images with quantitative indicators can be used as an important evaluation basis for LARS patients.

BACKGROUND:In recent years,computer-assisted navigation has gradually attracted attention in the medical field.Some scholars have reported that the clinical effects of computer navigation in total knee arthroplasty vary.To explore the clinical effect of the new generation of Brainlab Knee 3 navigation system,this study is conducted. OBJECTIVE:To analyze the application effect of computer navigation system(Brainlab Knee 3)combined with gap balance technology in total knee arthroplasty. METHODS:A total of 71 patients received total knee arthroplasty at the Department of Joint Surgery of Dalian Second People's Hospital from November 2020 to May 2021.In the navigation group,35 patients underwent total knee arthroplasty by computer navigation combined with gap balance.In the traditional group,36 patients underwent osteotomy with traditional surgical instruments.The difference between medial and lateral joint spaces,knee range of motion,hospital for special surgery knee score,hip-knee-ankle angle,deviation values of coronal femoral component angle,coronal tibial component angle,and sagittal tibial component angle were compared between the two groups. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)In the navigation group,the differences of intraoperative medial and lateral joint gap at knee extension 0,1,and 2 mm were found in 19,14,and 2 cases,respectively.The gap difference was 0 mm in 18 cases,1 mm in 15 cases and 2 mm in 2 cases at 90° degree knee flexion.In the traditional group,the gap difference at knee extention was 0 mm in 10 cases,1 mm in 20 cases,and 2 mm in 6 cases.The gap difference at 90 degree knee flexion was 0 mm in 10 cases,1 mm in 15 cases and 2 mm in 8 cases.(2)The operation time in the navigation group was longer than that in the traditional group(P<0.05),and two patients in the navigation group developed lower limb intermuscular vein thrombosis after surgery,and none of the patients in the traditional group had complications.(3)The range of motion between the two groups increased significantly at 6 and 12 months after surgery,and the range of motion in the navigation group was higher than that in the traditional group(P<0.05).(4)At 12 months after surgery,the hospital for special surgery knee scores of both groups increased significantly,and the hospital for special surgery knee score in the navigation group was higher than that in the traditional group(P<0.05).(5)At 6 months after surgery,the deviation values of hip-knee-ankle angle,coronal femoral component angle,coronal tibial component angle,and sagittal tibial component angle of navigation group were significantly lower than those in the traditional group(P<0.05).(6)The results showed that computer navigation technique combined with gap balance in total knee arthroplasty had advantages in postoperative range of motion,lower limb alignment and the accuracy of tibial prosthesis component position,and joint function recovered well.
